It was informed and delivered officially the tsunami inundation maps prepared by Oceanography Research Institute (INOCAR) to pilot municipalities, and the signboards indicating altitude created by Japanese Experts were delivered by General Deputy Secretary of SNGRE, Eng. Espinosa

The signboards indicating altitude were developed based on the characteristics of municipalities, and these are expected to improve regional disaster prevention capabilities in the future along with the use of tsunami hazard maps.

Pilot municipalities should guide secondary pilot municipalities so that they can develop their future activities related to tsunami awareness and disaster prevention on "self-help" of residents. The counterpart works together to implement the aforementioned activities.
